ranger 1996 upper and lower ball joints

Hello. I am going to replace the upper and lower ball joints, I want to buy a 21 piece ball joint press set: https://www.vevor.com/products/top-2...aa47c53e&_ss=r

Will this set include the appropriate measure to carry out my work? Or maybe I need to buy a kit like the one Harbor Freight sells. And my last question is that it is necessary to replace the camber adjustment? Can I reuse them? I appreciate your advice and suggestions. Thanks

I will try and shed some light on your question by sharing my experience, knowing that my model year maybe different than yours. I have a 2003 coils spring 2WD regular cab Ranger and when I replaced my lower and upper ball joints I did the following.

I rented from my local parts place the tool for free after a deposit and a refund when the tool is returned. I had the press out the old lower ball joint and press in a new one. On the upper ball joint I replaced the entire upper control arm including as one piece the ball joint. Therefore, I had to have the truck aligned and since it was the first time in 240K miles that this was being done the alignment shop added the camber adjustment kit as mine did not have it from the factory.

I hope this helps. Keep us posted with your progress.
